Download FinderFix 0.5.9 Beta (Mac) – Download Free

For a long time, the Finder had an annoying problem remembering your preferred window size and position. Sometimes it refuses to honor the specification of the last window opened, requiring you to do some complicated workarounds to get the new window to function properly.

finder fix is a small application designed to provide a solution to this problem.It can automatically resize and reposition every new Finder window immediately after opening, while adding an unrelated feature that allows you to cut and paste items in Finder using Finder ⌘X

and ⌘V Hotkeys, usually only for text.

Automatically correct Finder window size and position

The app runs in the menu bar, but you can set a global shortcut to launch it and hide it from the menu bar. When accessing Preferences, you can set the default size and position of each new Finder window. It would be nice if the application could automatically capture these dimensions and coordinates from the active Finder window, as it might be difficult to figure out the correct numbers at first.

When FinderFix is ​​enabled, each new window will be moved to the specified location and resized. This process is barely noticeable when the window is moved. However, it can make disk image windows look a little weird, since their backgrounds are usually designed around a specific window size.

Open new windows as tabs and use hotkeys to cut and paste in Finder

In addition to its main function, the app can make every new window open in a new Finder tab, which can be very helpful for some users’ workflow.

A more useful feature makes the cut function also available for Finder items.Once enabled, you can press ⌘X cut, and ⌘V Paste files/folders into new locations, just like on Windows, providing an alternative to macOS ⌘C / ⌘⌥V.

Simple Fixes for Finder Window Issues

While not perfect, since it doesn’t work well with the disk image window, FinderFix is ​​an effective solution to Finder window size and positioning issues. It even has some extras that can prove handy, and it’s available for free.
